“I invented Pasteurized milk, so that ya’llz wouldn’t be dying like all the time.”

8. 1.5 The Origin of Cells

9. Topic 1: Cell Biology (15 hours)
1.5 The origin of cells: There is an unbroken chain of life from the first cells on Earth to all cells in organisms alive today.
Nature of science: Testing the general principles that underlie the natural world—the principle that cells only come from pre-existing cells needs to be verified.
Understandings:
Cells can only be formed by division of pre-existing cells.
The first cells must have arisen from non-living material.
The origin and evidence of eukaryotic cells can be explained by the endosymbiotic theory.
64 codons in the genetic code have the same meanings in nearly all organisms, but that there are some minor variations that are likely to have accrued since the common origin of life on Earth.
Applications and skills:
Application: Evidence from Pasteur’s experiments that spontaneous generation of cells and organisms does not now occur on Earth. Pasteur’s experiment can be repeated using modern apparatus.
Theory of knowledge: Biology is the study of life, yet life is an emergent property. Under what circumstances is a systems approach productive in biology and under what circumstances is a reductionist approach more appropriate? How do scientists decide between competing approaches?

12. 3 Experiments greatly changed our understanding of cells:
Pasteur’s Swan Neck debunking of “spontaneous generation”
Miller-Urey showing where bio-molecules could have come from
Hershey-Chase’s demonstrating DNA contains genes

13. 1. Louis Pasteur's swan neck experiment demonstrated that bacteria cells must come from other bacteria cells, disproving that all life originated “spontaneously.”
“I invented Pasteurized milk, so that ya’llz wouldn’t be dying like all the time.”
3 experiments that changed the world.

14. Pasteur’s experiment corroborates The Cell Theory.
Review!
Pasteur’s experiment corroborates The Cell Theory.
What are the 3 parts of the cell theory?
Cells are the smallest units of life.
All living things are made out of cells.
Cells only come from other cells.
An early microscope

15. Mitochondria / chloroplasts have… a double membrane
Review!
Don’t confuse Cell Theory with the Endosymbiotic Theory.
What could be 3 pieces of evidence that support the endosymbiotic theory?
Mitochondria / chloroplasts have…
a double membrane
Their own DNA and ribosomes
Are the same size and bacteria
Reproduce via binary fission when their cell divides

16. What was around on Earth before life?

18. Two weeks later they found 13 out of the 20 amino acids
2. In 1953, Miller and Urey took the chemicals we believe were present on Earth before life, and electrified it.
Two weeks later they found 13 out of the 20 amino acids
This has been repeated many times, and with different “starting” conditions.
3 experiments that changed the world.

19. 3. In 1952, Hershey and Chase confirmed that DNA was the genetic material in a cell using bacteria-infecting viruses (bacteriophages) and radioactivity.

21. What is a codon?
Every 3 bases on mRNA is referred to as a codon. It indicates what amino acid is added to a protein.
Every 3 bases on tRNA is referred to as an anti-codon.

22. 64 codons in the genetic code have the same meanings in nearly all organisms, but that there are some minor variations that are likely to have happened since the common origin of life on Earth.

23. Which came first, DNA, RNA, or proteins?
The first self-replicating molecules could have been DNA, or… RNA!
Ribozymes is RNA that are also enzymes (enzymes run chemical reactions in living things)

This created an oxygen-rich atmosphere, and an ozone layer that later organisms (like us) needed.
Thanks, cyanobacteria!
